Rule 1: Beer is the winner. Don't @ us.
Team Formation: You must form teams of at least two, but no more than three people. Any more and you'll need to get a bigger table.
Scoring: Points are awarded when a player hits a ball in the opponent's side of the table. The team with the ball is not a player, so don't @ that idea.
Gameplay: You must play with a standard ping-pong table and 3 beers per player per game. Any attempts to use a beer keg or a beer fountain will be met with fierce penalties.
Tournament Format: The tournament will be a single-elimination, winner-takes-all bracket. May the best beer-loser win.
Dispute Resolution: If a dispute arises, a coin toss will be used to resolve the issue. Loser buys the winner a drink.
Penalties: Any attempts to cheat, bribe, or otherwise subvert the spirit of the game will incur penalties, including but not limited to: fines, warnings, and being forced to watch an hour of cat videos.
By participating in this tournament, you agree to these rules and the inherent risks of beer-related injuries, including but not limited to: spills, stains, and regret.
